A geeky parent's lifestyle blog
How flippin' lovely has it been the last few days? I've been so grateful for the opportunity to take Jenson on a few adventures while we've been off work and nursery. Plus the weather has been gorgeous. Although I must remember to reapply the factor 50 regularly. Here's a look back at a few favourites.… Continue reading A few of my favourite things #86

This post features affiliate links and a book which was sent for review purposes. All thoughts are my own. I try not to read two books from the same genre back to back, so my Goodreads list is pretty varied. My latest run of books includes chick lit, non-fiction and poetry - a very mixed… Continue reading What I’ve been reading lately #16
Ugh, don't you just hate spring colds? Being stuck at home all weekend with a poorly three year old when you're feeling like shit yourself isn't at all fun. But every cloud - I managed to squeeze a film in. Here's a look back at some favourites from last week. Easter treats Before Germapalooza struck,… Continue reading A few of my favourite things #85
This post features affiliate links Cecelia Ahern is one of my favourite writers. P.S. I Love You was the first book to make me cry and I've read almost everything she's written since (that damn TBR keeps growing!).

I tried encouraging him to draw something specific, copying me drawing… Continue reading Getting to grips with Stib pencils
Careers. They're funny ol' things, aren't they? When you're little, you're asked what you want to be when you grow up. Then, when you're older, you're told to be a bit more 'realistic' with that dream. And work your ass off.
